Maple View Farm - Granby, Connecticut

Kim V.

Maple View Farm established in 1950 and has been farming on 50 acres in Granby, CT. As a farm, they grow vegetables and fruits as well as raise animals such as chickens, ponies, horses, and pigs. They also have a brewery onsite, called Maple View Brewery (I've reviewed that as well.)

It's a beautiful property with plenty of parking. The brewery barn serves delicious beers and a couple of cocktails. The restrooms were clean. There were plenty of seating outside; picnic tables, chairs, fire pits, and even a play area for the kids. There was a tire swing and some tire obstacles. There is a farmhouse that is used as an Airbnb too. They also have a horse barn and offer pony rides for a fee. It is kid-friendly and dogs are allowed on a leash and outside.

We went on Sunday and a band was setting up to perform. They were also grilling some food. I've been in the winter and in the autumn, both times were fun but it is better when it's warmer out so you can sit outside. The seating inside can be limited on a cold and busy day. The service was always good too. One issue was, the bees were rampant; the beer tender said it's because they were using cinnamon sugar rim on the pumpkin beers lol. Overall, a fun place to hang out and we always enjoy our visits.

8.14.22 Big farm type venue with pigs and ponies. They also have a big open field with firepit, stage for live music, tire swings for kids. So bring a blanket or chair because you'll want to stay a bit. Sipping a beer with spectacular views of the sky, people watch, listen to music, this is your place. Good beer served by good people. Cheers! Let's support CT local businesses.

Great beer! Very friendly atmosphere for dogs, children, and thirsty adults! Nice big fire pit grill to bring your own food or buy some sausages made from pigs raised right here! This afternoon was also live music. You might want to bring your own folding chairs. I'll be back for sure!!

So happy to come across this wonderful hidden gem! After a hot, sticky hike at McClean Preserve, this was just down the road... love the open air atmosphere, barnstock, homestead decor... best of all, delish homebrews and they fill any growler! Nice folks and they also have live music on Sat afternoons. A must visit!! Family friendly as there is food and ice cream and pony rides!

We attended the vendor fair 7/30/23 what a great venue. So many vendors. My husband enjoys a cold brew while I shopped. The music was great. The staff directing traffic was spot on. Everything was run smoothly. And if it wasn’t we couldn’t tell. What a lovely time

A quaint farm store with self-serve items. The fridge was a little bare when we arrived, and will return at a later date.

Their beers are fantastic and their laid-back atmosphere was perfect for our whole family. We enjoyed the farm food, tasted farm-made alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, and made s’mores in their fire pit. We loved that we could sample the beers with a flight! Will definitely be back soon.

Love this place. Beautiful rural farm right on the border between Massachusetts and Connecticut. Excellent homemade beer and food. Good music listened to the old-fashioned way in a comfy chair outdoors in the sun. Even has fire pits and play areas for the kids and even pony rides.
